RE: [Fwd: Re: [SLE] LPT Scanner and SCSI emulation]

It depends on the SCSI chip inside the scanner.  I have a scanport SQ300 w/
a OnSpec 90c26 SCSI chip inside.  I can get the scanner to work in Kooka as
a Microtek/Mustek? Slimscan only in prescan mode.  Every time I do a normal
scan it just spits out a black image.  For now I can use the prescan image
as Kooka saves it as a image.  However, later I am going to sell this
scanner and get me a nice Epson Perfection SCSI model.  Hope this helps.
